Question 1

How much road tax does a new petrol car pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

It is the WLTP CO₂ figure × 0.6 × a band factor, 0.5 up to 90 g/km and 0.1 more per 10 g. So the tax climbs faster than the emissions, and a powerful sports car pays many times what a small hatchback does.

Question 2

Is a new petrol car cheaper to tax than a diesel in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at the same CO₂ figure: a diesel is taxed with a factor of 0.9 instead of 0.6, so it pays half as much again. A diesel often emits less CO₂ for the same power, which narrows the gap.

Question 3

What does it cost to register a new petrol car in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

There is no registration tax, only a €50 stamp at the SNCA, and the dealer usually handles the registration. The first contrôle technique, the roadworthiness test, is due when the car is four years old.

Question 4

Can a cross-border worker buy a new petrol car in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the SNCA registers cars only for residents listed in the national register. A buyer living in France, Belgium or Germany registers the car at home, under that country's rules and taxes.
